The '''Road to Emmaus''' (pronounced "eh-MAY-uhs") is one of the most beautiful and piercing accounts in all of [[the Gospels]].  As set forth at [[Luke 17-24 (Translated)#24:13|Luke 24:13-35]], it describes an encounter by two disciples of [[Jesus]], only one of whom is identified (Cleopas), with an ostensible stranger who joins them on the walk.  They walked together towards Emmaus, a distance of about 7 miles, until it was too dark to proceed further.

It is likely that the [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] documents what the stranger said to the two disciples during this walk.<ref>See [[Mystery:Did Jesus Write the Epistle to the Hebrews?]]</ref>

The incident is so compelling that there have been many paintings, particularly from the [[Renaissance]], which attempt to depict it.  [[Rembrandt]], for example, completed two paintings and two etchings of the incident, including his ''Supper at Emmaus'' in 1648 which is now at the [[Louvre]].  Caravaggio (1571-1610) also did multiple paintings of this incident, including his painting ''Supper at Emmaus'' in 1601.<ref>https://www.artway.eu/content.php?id=1154&lang=en&action=show</ref>
